Maison Domine by Skylar Kade

When I first journeyed into writing erotica, I never hoped to be the company of such amazing writers as Natasha Moore and Jenna Ives—but here I am, the third of our Binding Ties collection.

Maison Domine takes place at an exclusive BDSM retreat, where my heroine has been sent by her best friend. The straitlaced Lara Brunner has sacrificed everything for her career as a research chemist, but when her health starts taking a toll, drastic measures are called for. Though Lara realizes she may need to learn to relax a bit, domination and submission seems a little extreme to her. Until she meets her weekend-long trainer, Jax. Far from letting her stay locked in her room with a book all weekend, he introduces her to the decadent experience of sexual submission. Lara had never imagined that letting go could feel so damn good. Nor did she ever think someone as sexy as Jaxon Greene would be there to catch her when her knees grew weak from sexual desire.

Lara, always the self-reliant one, wanted to balk at the idea of having her wrists bound, but something inside her—that wild, under-nurtured part of her—persuaded her to give it a try. And in that bondage, she found a freedom so surprising, she could not get enough of it, or of Jaxon.

As a writer and a woman, I love the irony of sexual bondage bringing freedom. Touch is such a powerful sensation, and when you are unable to have that tactile pleasure, when you are forced to simply lie in anticipation for your partner’s touch, it heightens arousal to an incredible level. Will he draw a finger across your naked back, or blow warm breath across your ear? Or will his hand land a deliciously stinging blow across your butt? Part of Lara wants to rebel against the sheer idea of submissiveness, but as Jaxon brings her to a level of pleasure she’s never experienced, she can’t deny him.

The Initiation of Isabella by Jenna Ives

My story, The Initiation of Isabella, is part of Samhain’s “Binding Ties” anthology, and I’m thrilled to be in the company of prolific Red Sage/Samhain author Natasha Moore, plus first-time author Skylar Kade in this sexy bondage series!

The Initiation of Isabella is a classic case of mistaken identity, which lets my heroine experience some of her wildest sexual fantasies. Here's the premise: Isabella Tallin is trying to join the Sigma Iomega Nu sorority, and thinks she's waiting at the corner of Elm and Main for her mysterious initiation rite to begin. But she can't believe that rite involves a gorgeous guy in a hot red convertible and being bound, gagged, and blindfolded…or does it? Logan Sommers can’t believe the innocent-looking girl waiting for him on the street corner is his mysterious client—a sexually jaded woman who has paid his company, Fantasies Fulfilled, to indulge four of her most outrageous sexual fantasies. But the pickup instructions were clear, so he whisks her away for a night of wickedly sensual pleasure! In the end, Isabella finds herself happily initiated by a far different organization than the one she expected. You can read an excerpt of the story at my website www.jennaives.com.

The awesome covers for the three different stories in this series each center on one particular bondage element, and mine is the blindfold. A blindfold is a powerful sex toy, because without the sense of sight, a person will often find their other senses become more heightened, in order to compensate. In this case, Isabella can’t see, only feel what’s happening to her, and her heightened sense of touch lets her more powerfully experience all the delicious things my hero Logan is doing to her naked body. Plus, being blindfolded frees us from having to see the other person, so it lets us concentrate completely on a sexual stimulus -- his lips, fingers, tongue, etc -- making our reaction to it much more honest and personal. In this story, Isabella gets to experience four different sexual fantasies, and the last one -- being pleasured by Logan and two other men all at the same time -- means she’s in for the most incredible night of her life!

I hope you’ll check out The Initiation of Isabella so you can experience Isabella’s pleasure vicariously 

How about you? Ever use a blindfold to help spice up your love life? Did you enjoy it? Do tell!

Bound by Design by Natasha Moore

For the next three days here at Fierce Romance, we’ll be featuring the Binding Ties novellas, a new anthology from Samhain Publishing which releases tomorrow, September 29th. I’m thrilled that my story, Bound by Design, was chosen to be part of this anthology, along with stories by the talented Jenna Ives and Skylar Kade. The covers are gorgeous, the stories are hot! The novellas will be released as downloads first, then they will be released together in a print anthology in summer 2010.

In Bound by Design, Jenn Abbott has vowed to never wear a collar again. She escaped from a bad Master/slave relationship years ago and never wants to get back into that whole Dominant/submissive lifestyle. But when she meets Scott Kinsley, his natural dominance calls to the submissive still locked inside her. Suddenly her body comes alive and she’s tempted to do what she thought she never would.

A collar is not only a symbol of submission. It can be a play toy. It can be a training tool. Wrapped around your neck, it’s a reminder of the control you willingly surrender. Hook a leash onto it and the sexy guy you trust can lead you anywhere he wants you to go. Clip a chain onto it and you can be held in place while he plays with your body and brings you amazing pleasure. There are many kinds of collars, from crude utilitarian ones to fine jewelry.

To Jenn, the collar at first symbolizes how she lost herself in her previous relationship, but she knows that it should signify respect, trust, commitment. But can she trust Scott with her body and her heart?

You can check out an excerpt of Bound by Design here.

To celebrate the release of Binding Ties, Jenna, Skylar and I are holding a month-long contest. In keeping with the theme of our stories, the prize is a Bondage Kit, complete with a blindfold and wrist and ankle cuffs! Wouldn’t that add a little fun to your evening?
